* Having watched a lot of Scooby-Doo in my time, I noticed something weird: as the show goes on, Scooby becomes better & better at speaking English. He also walks bipedal more & becomes worse at relating to other dogs. It's like he's evolving (is that using the word wrong? I should check with Ron.) or at least trying to become more human. Like I said, weird.

And I never had a crush on Velma. As embarrassing as this may be, I have to admit, Daphne was my first crush, ever. I've had a thing for redheads ever since. (Hence my Molly Ringwald crush in high school.)

I was stuck at the laundromat the other week, wating for my clothes to finish the spin cycle, and the TV was set to the Cartoon Channel. Of course, it was set high up in the corner near the ceiling, so you couldn't reach it, and a remote was nowhere in sight, so I got stuck watching Scooby Doo in Cyberspace (and it's weird, because now whenever I hear Casey Kasem's voice, I can't seem to get past that audio clip of him cursing everyone out).

I suddenly realized how amazingly formulaic the original show was, and how that might be translated into a mildly amusing, but probably not very entertaining in the long run, Card Game.

There'd be cards for certain inevitable events, like Velma losing her glasses, the gang splitting up, the big chase scene, the pulling off of the masks at the end, etc.
